I work for multiple organizations. The majority of which have a Google sheet with their passwords in that are
Those that aren't are
At one point the organization I work for had a password that was literally
Password-022!, guess what it was the following month?Exactly.
I had to start hashing passwords and sending it to the haveibeenpwned API.
I also fight with my users over data normalization because any time I add some rule (like don’t put “SO#” as part of the value of the “SO#” field), they’re too stupid to realize the point and find some other “hack” around it.
